Habitat: Comptus and Panolopus have both ground and tree-adapted ecomorphs (Schools et al. 2022).

Similar species: Panolopus lanceolatus sp. nov. and P. neiba cannot be morphologically separated based on standard characters; however, they can be separated by the frontal width divided by the SVL (3.48–3.84 [n=8] versus 3.86–4.52 [n=5]). Similarly, Panolopus neiba and P. leionotus can only be separated by the nasal height by the nasal width (1.82–2.18 [n=5] versus 1.47–1.80 [n=7]). (Schools & Hedges 2024) 
EtymologyNamed after its type locality, the Sierra de Neiba.
